RE: PMB’S CONTROVERSIAL RESPONSE

This is not to cause further controversy by adding to the already existing unpopular drama about the president’s speech. No. Herein I will be speaking the minds of millions. I’ll attempt to place you (the reader) in the seat of the president. So, be my hardworking President while I respond from within the under 30 populace. I understand fully well that as a human and a citizen of this great nation, you have the inalienable and unequivocal right to hold opinions as well as express your views on certain issues the way you see fit. This is a fundamental human right we both share. Your views (whatever they are and however they seem) are however susceptible to criticisms depending on the circumstances surrounding them and or the state of mind of those listening plus their diverse experiences cum impression of you. Please note that I’m not hurt by the statement as said or implied. This is because I in no way feel like I belong to the group of persons you directed it to but this is not abo

BE PASSIONATE: Keep pushing

It's a world where hard work pays. Where hard work is said to pay rather. And so we begin to toil just so we could live in the weekend_ but at the end of the week we end up weak and crowded with thoughts of the next Monday down the rest with no actual rest. Yeah. No rest coz while we work our muscles out during  the working days, we bugle down the mind with thoughts of how to get through the next when we should be at peace, resting with our beloved. Worse, is the fact that we don't do the aforementioned for things we have passion for. Things we enjoy and find pleasure in. No! We are like prisoners _prisoners rather. Not free to run the show. Must wake into our uniforms, hurry into our cells (offices) at work to do the biddings of others_ otherwise we'd lose the life we've never truly had. It's a sentence (for how long I don't know). A self-inflicted one at that. But... You can decide to win. How? I don't know... ...but remember to rememb

WHAT'S WORSE THAN YOUR FLAW?

Can you look beyond the scars and the cute face. The word retard never minds the race. While we all are judges who never set the pace, Our skins do not tell who's devoid of craze.  I ask Do you listen to yourself when you judge others?  Do you even critique your actions before others'? No!  You'd rather be perfect. Never be imperfect. You're crystal, no blemish like water in a sachet. And so you hike your ideas beyond mine.  You feel like the most ideal of all time.  That I'm flaw-filled is to you a crime  But you'd rather be entertained by my sour lime Just because it makes you seem saner In the right thinking of saner minds You badmouth my deeds and misdeeds And say its because I'm inferior to your likes That's your flaw What's worse? __Jeremiah Kadiri          17/03/018

DEATH

I've seen death I've known death I've been there It's still there. It is never reluctant It has been and will always be a constant It is explicit and that it will come is no doubt To say that life is a lie without death is unequivocal fact Life brings, death takes Like night and daybreak Through Dawn dusk comes and it's a circle yet again As we cry, we pray but death knows no pain. A guest we must entertain You can't say no, you can't ask, 'again?' It doesn't come because it never left It is a domestic thief waiting to act the theft Death is nothing but what we call it We can turn the tables how we see fit For if we aren't dying we can never be dead We can always be ready to accept, go through death without worries nor fears Knowing that it'll only take us to a place better than here To eternal life in wealth and wellness. __Jeremiah Kadiri

I QUIT!

Image
At some point I figured out that I shouldn’t care too much as to owe you any explanation for quitting and what I’m quitting but then I’ve come to the acceptance that there’s a lot to learn from anybody’s story no matter how insane it may seem or sound. This is not me saying, it’s me doing. I quit! Yeah. It’s no joke buddy. It’s been a long time coming. Trust me. To My Employer; I’ve held the notion that you are always on my neck. You see to it that I must resume work early and close late, that I must not get emotional/personal when I perceive that my rights are being transgressed by clients/customers just so I don’t turn them away to competitors. That everything must be in perfectly working condition as well as meeting or beating deadlines set by all means. The thought of doing all these ‘for you’ stresses me and most times bring thoughts of exiting from your organization. I’m almost wrinkled from the frowns I wear when you make distasteful remarks either about me or my colleagues

THAT PILE OF SHIT IS YOUR BEST SHOT

We've all got tales to tell. You know, it's a gift to be able to tell tales because #DeadMenTellNoTales. However, these tales are in the past and not to be resided in but referenced. Someone once said, 'you'll never amount to no good' (but then, God is the Best and He is my Creator). Another told me, 'you can't even rhyme well and you want to do music?' (I did a couple of songs and when I stopped, same person begged to sponsor my music if I agreed to do more). Then again I started working out and another told me to stop wasting time,  'guy you go just grow veins full body. You never eat well you wan dey carry iron abi?' (now he, his cronies and a lot of other people want tips about healthy exercising from me). 'you can't even construct good English and you want to study journalism?' I once was told. (now I have a degree in mass communication and a blog same person reads from today). Have you ever been told, "I'm disappo

CORPSEOCRACY

A system of government borne out of the Nigerian democracy. It is one that hopes to deliver the desired 'CHANGE' through the appointment of dead people into government. The underlying Theory of this system is 'The Dead Social Rule Effect' theory as propounded and actioned by his excellency President Muhammadu Buhari GCFRN in the year 2017. It postulates that the said appointees may have died but may not be dead. Though having dead people in active service is not a new practice in the Nigerian context, PMB is the first living president to appoint dead people who are to preside over issues affecting the lives of the living. Like other systems, this has featured lots of heated criticisms and serious opposition (only on social media) but the system of Corpseocracy seem to be well received (in real life)  as Nigerians are going about their 'lawful' duties as a peace loving people. It is hoped that in no distant time a Dead People Coalition may rise and poli
